What does this mean: "...nor do we believe the misissued certificates were used outside the limited scope of MCS Holdings’ test network,..." If the certificates were used only in a test (private?) network, how did Google find out?

There wasn't any A/B testing since when I think about whiteboard vs computer, I already have the notion that if you can write code on a whiteboard, you can write it more easily and naturally on a computer. I've given 5-10 suc

I give computer (coding) interviews instead of whiteboard interviews, and the candidates are allowed to freely use the compiler. This should be more natural than whiteboard interviews and closer to actual programming work. The candidate may

If the information that enables "front-running" is available from public exchanges through standard channels, it's still public information, so the "front-running" isn't really front-running. Besides, those big

Normal definitions of 'front-running' entails trading with non-public data. Anyone who describes HFT as front-running is not telling the truth and not to be taken seriously, because HFT generally has no more reason than slow tradi

I use the shebang "#!/bin/bash -e". To get the same effect as the "set -o errexit -o nounset", I think you can use "#!/bin/bash -e -u". (There seems to be no option for pipefail.)

Why not just use smart pointers like unique_ptr and shared_ptr and call it a day? Dealing with raw pointers that require manual management is like running with scissors.

I think you could define your own mutt package that doesn't have the optional stuff, although it may be a lot of work.

OK, granted they may want to monitor the plant remotely. Then they could have a plant-connected machine dump UDP monitoring packets to an Internet-connected machine, and have the plant-connected machine block all incoming packets from the I

I never understand why people need to connect industrial plants to the Internet. Do they actually need to control them over the Internet instead of on-site? And, if they need to use the Internet on-site, can't they make an air gap and

The article mentions industrial applications being the first to use this. What are some example industrial applications where you need a high-bandwidth, low-latency, link that has to be wireless, that WiFi is not good enough?

I don't know why people are talking as if deflation is a real thing when there's a worldwide property bubble going on and property price is a a very real aspect of the cost of day-to-day living. One must question the CPI metrics u

I seems that some copyright claimants spam website operators with bogus takedown notices. What the DMCA takedown procedure lacks is a provision allowing website operators to just ignore takedown notices from claimants with a spotty track re

Of course it's a flimsy metaphor. How do you make the choice to liken a country to an apartment with a long-term lease instead of a hotel that charges by the day or a club where you pay dues and can suspend your membership and due paym

A smaller provider with fewer clients probably provides a lower ROI for the NSA because of the economy of scale, although if they are specifically targeting you, it may still not make a meaningful difference.

As one of the comments point out, at least one of these 'professors' is wrong about anonymity. Don't let the title fool you into crediting more authority than warranted. I shouldn't have read this article.

In case you were wondering how they got that magic number 84,000 gallons, it probably comes from 2,000 barrels ( http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=24&t=10 ), so it's a rather rough estimation (one significant digit, not two). EDI

I'm sure the quirks can be dealt with given enough time and energy to climb the learning curve, but some people just don't want to spend energy on it when they can learn another language. I, for example, don't deal with JS daily and can't r

I think he misses one of the important points of comparing JS with assembly. Not only is assembly unportable, it's hard to read and hard to write for a human being. People use languages like Coffeescript not necessarily to deal with portabi

What's the difference between an enterprise-class SSD and a regular SSD? Is it performance or reliability? Is an enterprise-class HDD even more performant and reliable than a regular SSD? I thought SSDs are more reliable because they don't

The title is hyped and inaccurate. It's not software development that's bad for health. It's the bad sitting posture and that's not essential to software development.

It would be good to see some comparison with bzip2, which typically has better compression ratio than gzip.

Waf can also do parallel build with proper dependencies, and it's Python-based. Have you looked at it? The documentation is rather clear, but the initial learning curve is probably steeper than make.
